SYMPTOMS
========
Index Server queries and Site Server Search may fail to return all values when
querying for a meta tag that contains multiple values with digits in the first
value.
Example:
META NAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="word1 word2 word3"
In this example, a query for @META_DESCRIPTION does not return "word1."
CAUSE
=====
The Intelliscope word breaker is tokenizing the first value correctly; however,
the first value is discarded from the results (token queue). The first value is
discarded because it's recognized as a noise word and the Intelliscope word
breaker is initialized with an option to clear out the token queue, thus it
eliminates the noise word.
